- Sparklers a Major Hazard (ABC News)
"In the spectrum of fireworks dangers, people rarely think of sparklers as a major hazard. But last year around the Fourth of July — the season with nearly 70 percent of fireworks-related injuries — 16 percent of reported injuries were caused by sparklers, according to the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission. That's more injuries than were caused by rockets, and trails only the 17 percent caused by firecrackers and the 19 percent caused by unknown devices." 7-05
